| Calendar Description | This course provides the student with a significant experience in self-directed learning. Project topics are provided from which the students select a topic. The topic selection information search, designs and component sourcing are completed as part of the Fall term course ELE700 Engineering Design. The student individually or in a group, where the topic is a group project, will research the topic, design, implement and make operational a design of currency in the fields of electrical and computer engineering. Professional guidance is provided by faculty on a weekly basis in the laboratory. The completed project must be demonstrated operational by the last week of the term. A final bound project report that conforms to professional guidelines is required. The students must demonstrate their working project at an Open House in May. | ||||||||||||

| Remarks | Students are required to demonstrate a working
prototype and a thorough knowledge of their engineering design
project through an oral examination by their assigned Faculty
Laboratory Coordinator (FLC). Failure to do so will
automatically result in a FAIL grade. Students who do not keep
their FLC advised of their progress on at least a biweekly
basis may be refused an oral examination because authorship and
contribution to the project is questionable. All written reports will be assessed not only on their technical merit, but also on the communication skills of the author as exhibited through these reports. |

| Academic Misconduct | Committing academic misconduct, such as plagiarism and cheating, will trigger academic penalties including failing grades, suspension and possibly expulsion from the University. As a Ryerson student, you are responsible for familiarizing yourself with the Student Code of Academic Conduct (www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol60.pdf). |
